Letters name pitches; numbers identify octaves. A dash means rest. Easy mode uses one beat for every event.

A small practice plan

  1. Find D-sharp next to D before playing.
  2. Move the hand for the E to high C leap; do not stretch.
  3. Learn the pitches slowly before adding syncopation.
  4. Keep repeated high C notes relaxed.
  5. Use this theme as a preparation exercise before approaching the full rag.
